The Ford Focus RS500 is a limited-edition, high-performance variant of the Focus RS, unveiled in 2010 as the ultimate expression of Ford’s hot hatch engineering. Limited to just 500 units globally, the RS500 stands out with its matt black foil finish, aggressive styling, and race-inspired aerodynamics. Under the hood, it features a 2.5-litre turbocharged inline-five engine tuned to produce 345 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque - an increase over the standard RS - allowing it to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds. Paired with a six-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive, the RS500 delivers a thrilling, raw driving experience, enhanced by a specially tuned suspension and limited-slip differential. Revered by enthusiasts, the RS500 remains one of the most sought-after and iconic hot hatches Ford has ever produced.
